Southgate Florist: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Ordered a beautiful hand tied for my Mam's 90th birthday. She was absolutely overwhelmed as was everyone in the residential home. Would highly recommend this florist. The staff were all so helpful and very polite. Thanks again ladies. Very happy customer and birthday girl.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for the amazing flowers you delivered to my friend this week. I ordered these as a thank you surprise, not ever having visited the store before but I knew my friend liked the store, and she absolutely loved the bouquet of flowers. Thank you for your easy and reliable service!
Fantastic experience: Your flowers are beautiful. The bouquet received was amazing. Thanks for the quick delivery.
Fantastic experience: Really the best Florist I have used in Drogheda. Wish they were Ireland wide. Always listen to request and adapt arrangements. Flowers are beautiful and quality is clearly there, flowers last a long time with care. Great local business that cares. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Evelyn and her team did the most fabulous job with our flowers for our August wedding at Bellinter House. From our first conversation Evelyn was a delight to work with, she suggested colours, flowers and designs. Our flowers came out better than what I could have imagined! The team was so professional and timely, and so many of our guests complimenting the arrangements. I would absolutely recommend Southgate Floists to future brides
Fantastic experience: Evelyn did an absolutely beautiful job creating my bridal bouquet! The arrangement was stunning, fresh, and thoughtfully put together with amazing attention to detail. You can truly see the care and creativity she puts into her work. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional. Evelyn was kind, patient, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back! ✨
Fantastic experience: Excellent communication, excellent delivery (on a Sunday - rare to find) and the bouquet was fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Southgate Florist prepared our wedding flowers for our wedding in May. They done an amazing job and gave me just what I asked for. They prepared my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, men's buttonhole flowers and ceramony flowers. I asked for natural and neutral colours as I knew the bridesmaids colours were vibrant and they went perfectly. The flowers were beautiful and I absolutely loved my bouquet. I would 100% recommend for bridal and wedding flowers!! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Evelyn was an absolute pleasure to deal with for our wedding flowers
Fantastic experience: Evelyn and crew were nothing short of amazing to deal with. I booked them for my October wedding and couldn’t have been happier with them. The flowers looked absolutely insane, first of all. Evelyn worked so well in the background the entire day and set everything up without any stresses. Not only that, she came on day 2 to deconstruct my flower arch into multiple bouquets, which she did of her own volition. The arrangements, attention to detail and professionalism was top quality and I was 10/10 recommend
Fantastic experience: Great selection of flowers pity about the owner she had a face like a wet weekend
Fantastic experience: So we got married at the registry office, had no colour theme and it was a dinner in a restaurant afterwards, not a venue ie hotel etc. We gave Evelyn free reign to put together a bridal bouquet and tables settings. They were only fabulous. A pleasure to deal with, early on the day deliverying all flowers. Amazing service and quality of the flowers. Thank you for everything!
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your service flowers order at 9.15 today delivered by 11.30 Their beautiful Thank you
Fantastic experience: Superb bouquets. Wouldn't use anywhere else. I order from the UK for delivery to my Mam in Ireland and never need to worry about the quality. Flowers always super fresh. 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Ev from Southgate florist is absolutely incredible at wedding flowers and arrangements. I had a meeting with her and she gave so much time and detail to ensure we both found the perfect arrangement and colours for the day. Ev is so talented at what she does and tries her best to get the best quality flowers for you on the day. Thanks so much for bringing the vision to life. All our best Megan and Eoin
Fantastic experience: I used Southgate Florist recently for a sympathy bouquet for a family member. The bouquet was absolutely stunning; a beautiful mix of seasonal summer flowers in lavender, soft pink, white and green tones. Thank you. What a service!
Fantastic experience: Great selection and lovely team. Reasonably priced also
Fantastic experience: Very last minute I walked into Southgate on a busy Saturday as disaster had just struck for me ,the bouquet I had ordered somewhere else for my engagement shoot was completely different than what I ordered. The girls very quickly in just 20 minutes whipped me up a beautiful bouquet and it was stunning in all the photos. Can't thank the girls enough, they are always on the ball x
Fantastic experience: Outstanding flowers and excellent service
Fantastic experience: Placed an order about two weeks before Valentines Day. Order was waiting for me when I said I would land. No messing around. Thank you guys ❤️
Fantastic experience: Excellent quality and overall a pleasure to shop for flowers, very friendly service. Regards LW
Negative experience: So I went to this retailer to buy some Christmas bouquets as I was trying to shop local. I spent approximately €160 on flowers. I asked the assistant if it would be possible to deliver one of the bouquets. She advised it is and asked me where to. I replied Dublin. The customer assistant said it would be about €50 to deliver as it it €1 per km for delivery. Hesitantly I agreed to this. Then the assistant said I have to check with my manager. The manager then said no that delivery to Dublin is not possible as they were busy and i may be better off contacting a florist in dublin. I had bought the flowers on the premise that they could be delivered and the manager offered me a refund. I declined same but although I like to support local businesses, especially at Christmas I would have hoped for a little more flexibility from them given I had spent such a large amount of money with them in the first place.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous flower arrangements and the staff are lovely.
Fantastic experience: We had our flowers for our wedding done with Southgate and I could recommend them highly enough. The flowers were nothing short of stunning and everyone commented on how fabulous they were!! Thank you so much x
Fantastic experience: Evelyn was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Created all of my wedding flowers and was honestly one of my favorite items on the day. Couldn't recommend enough. Listened to what I was looking for and made it come to life, better than I could have imagined. ❤
Fantastic experience: Simply the Best
Fantastic experience: Evelyn you’re just a WOW!!! I cannot recommend Southgate florist enough. Evelyn is so efficient, professional, attentive and creative that she made the whole flower selection and design process super easy for me. There aren’t many vendors for weddings that you work with and actually miss them after the event!! We have had so many jokes during our conversations yet got the task done. Evelyn you’re absolutely fantastic and thank you so much for making my wedding so beautiful with those incredible flowers. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: The most stunning and beautiful flowers I ever could have imagined for my wedding day. I was obsessed with them. They were 100 times nicer than I had imagined them to be. Exactly what I wanted and more. They also made me the most beautiful flower crown. Evelyn was so so easy and lovely to deal with. Also fantastic value for what we got. Flowers don't get more beautiful than from Southgate Florist.
Fantastic experience: Pleasure to shop staff were very helpful making up a bouquet of colour & fragrances
Fantastic experience: Have been shopping periodically here over last 3 years. They really have some unique, classy and quirky one off items that you can purchase in an instance. One of ours was a bonzi and it's bordering on 3 years old. It's a beauty. But you need to take care of them also. 10/10

Thank you so much Virginia, will definitely be back to you in the future take care and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic flowers and wonderful, friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: The girls at Southgate Florist are simply the best, they didn't win the award for Best Wedding Florists in Ireland for nothing. They are all so creative and make absolute amazing floral arrangements. Nothing is ever a problem for them they are so helpful, friendly and have built up a reputational buisness that is hidden in the corner of Southgate Shopping Complex, Drogheda. In addition they not only create amazing wreaths and displays for your hall door but also host classes seasonally so you can get in touch with your own creative side and produce a masterpiece!! I cannot recommend Southgate Florists highly enough, in addition the customer service they provide is as bright and beautiful as the gorgeous flowers, floral arrangements and plants on display both inside and outside the shop. To cap it all off they are competitively priced and won't put a dent in your pocket. Love Southgate Florist long may they continue to keep on growing
Fantastic experience: The best in this business by far. I love seeing everything they create. Evelyna and her team are wonderful people to deal with and I recommend them all the time.
Fantastic experience: Amazingly talented ladies working here. The floral arrangements are stunning.
Fantastic experience: i have bought a number of bouquets, arrangements and wreaths here for a number of years and without fail the quality has been second to none.

Lovely helpful and knowledgeable staff, huge selection. There is something there for every budget.

Fantastic experience: Ordered some flowers from the uk which i thought was going to be difficult but staff were really responsive to my email and sorted my order really quickly and easily also brilliant customer service thank you guys x
Fantastic experience: Having ordered flowers for a family funeral at an unfairly late time, I arrived at the service to find that a beautiful, tasteful arrangement had been delivered just as requested. I want to thank you for your kind and patient telephone manner, your honesty about what could be accomplished in the limited time given, your prompt delivery and, most importantly, the beautiful flowers which completely met the description given. It was such a relief to arrive, see the work you did and be filled with gratitude. You made a difficult day easier and I want to thank from the bottom of my heart. Kindest regards.
Fantastic experience: Great service and lovely bouquet delivered to our daughter in Drogheda. The lady on the phone (I did not get her name) was very friendly and helpful (wrote out a card for me); our daughter sent a photo and it was a gorgeous seasonal bouquet. Our daughter also buys her table decorations for Christmas from them and is very happy with it. I also always buy flowers and plants there when we are in Drogheda (we live in France).
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service! Called from Australia at 9.30am to order flowers and they were delivered to Monasterboice before 12pm that day! And a text from delivery guy to say they’d arrived. Beautiful bunch of flowers - mammy loved them. Thanks a mil!
Positive experience: Always great friendly service ervice never a complaint from any bouquets I've gotten here recommended
Fantastic experience: Great range. Very helpful girls. Always fresh stock arranged on the spot.
Fantastic experience: I always prefer calling a local florist directly when I need to order flowers long distance. We live in California and had to order a sympathy arrangement for a funeral in Ireland. We found Southgate Florist's website and placed an online order. Within the hour, Virginia (I presume the owner) replied via email (at 10pm her time, afternoon for us!). She was familiar with the undertaker, church etc and took care of everything. My sister in law, who attended the service, said the arrangement was gorgeous (she is a horticulturalist). Highly recommend Southgate Florist in Drogheda, they provide professional prompt service and beautiful floral arrangements at reasonable prices.
